NFC EAST Week 1 Power Poll

1. Washington Redskins: The Redskins were the best team last year. Kirk Cousins should be more comfortable and more entrenched on offense. They added All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman on defense.

2. New York Giants: The Giants are the biggest threat to the Redskins. They added several big-time free agents on defense and get Victor Cruz back to a receiver corps that already has Odell Beckham Jr.

3. Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys’ hopes of contending took a huge blow when quarterback Tony Romo suffered a fractured bone in his back. They are asking a lot of rookie Dak Prescott.
